Jeremy had a home visit with Munchkin's CPS case worker today. The current plan is to either get relinquishment papers signed and submitted for the court hearing in January, or to terminate parental rights in February if they won't sign the relinquishment papers. Then the case will be transferred to the adoption side of CPS and we'll have another status hearing four months from either relinquishment or termination, and then we'll process the adoption and consummate. We're probably looking at close to a year before everything is final, but it feels like now its all just going through the process and we don't have to worry as much about losing him. (sigh) It'll probably be around November of next year... We got him November of last year... November might be come a bit sentimental time for us in a lot of ways.
Another fun happening today... We're getting a very temporary foster placement tonight. Another new born straight from the NICU, little bitty guy. Another family in our agency, who has the two older siblings already, and are planning to take this little man as well, just moved to a new house. Until they get all of their paper work and license updated, they're operating under a temporary license with their current placements. The catch is they can't take any new placements under the temporary license. They should have all that worked out by Wednesday though, and we're going to keep the new baby until then.
It should make for a fun weekend. We'll see how we fare with a toddler and an infant. We'll see how Munchkin does as a big brother. It'll be like a sweet little test run so we'll have a better idea what we're getting ourselves into in March when Jackson arrives.
Here's to a life of adventure. :) My heart is full and my God is good.
